Reaction Steps

A stirred solution of 20.0 grams (0.096 mole) of 7-fluoro-4-propyl-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one in 100 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid was cooled to -10°C. A mixture of 10 ml of nitric acid (70% nitric acid by weight in water) and 10 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid was added dropwise during a 20 minute period. After complete addition the mixture was stirred at -5° C. for 10 minutes. The reaction mixture was poured into water which was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and filtered. The filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure to leave a tacky solid. This solid was triturated witha mixture of diethyl ether, petroleum ether, and ethyl acetate (1:1:1) to yield, after filtration, 7.2 grams of 7-fluoro-6-nitro-4-propyl-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one.
